shown by Tennessee Legislators that

OF the hundred and odd millions Of gal

as represented the ''doctoring" being
done after the wine has paid its duties
and passed into the hands Of dealers.
The most harmless Of these tricks is the
marking of ordinary vintages by the
name of some wine Of much higher grade;
the next is making. say, three barrels out
Of two by adding distilled water and in
creasing the color by mixing in u few
quarts of u wine grown in the department
OF Loiret called BLACK wine from its
excess of natural coloring matter.
Besides all this large proportion Of
the ''sherries," and practically all of the
.Madeiras' are made at Cette and else
where from rough native wines some

Georgie's Applied Zoology.

Little George, after his mother had pre-
pared him for bed, while still in her lap
used to say his evening prayer. One
night he said: II don't want to say my
prayers in this way" and getting out Of
his mothers lap he knelt down before her
and. placing his open HANDS together, re-
peated his prayer. When his father heard
Of this he was much interested. He al
ways felt that this was the proper attitude
in prayer in the family and in the closet.
As nothing had been said 10 George on
the subject, he thought it was evidence Of
a sort Of natural religion. George"
said his father, ''do you suppose God likes
to have you say your prayers this way
better than the way you used to-" ''Oh,
don't suppose God cares anything about
it, l was thinking of the kangaroo" He
had lately been to the menagerie and seen
that animal sitting on its haunches with
its fore feet placed together somewhat As
he placed his hands in saying his prayers.
The father, in relating this incident, says
that it took all his notions that it had any
thing to do with natural religion out Of
